Planting Hollies

Hollies are a common shrub in the landscape. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond shows how to plant a ‘soft touch’ holly. One of the most important parts of planting is to make sure your hole is wider than the plant’s roots, but not deeper. Joellen is planting the holly high to improve drainage. She also gives basic information about ‘soft touch’ hollies as well as other kinds of hollies.
